The setup

Michael Bublé tries to sell a Christmas duets album with celebrity partners whose quirks keep getting in the way of the songs.

The premise

Here’s the bit.

A fake album commercial pairs Michael Bublé with a succession of celebrity impressions in a festive recording studio. Sting substitutes his own vocal mannerisms for a carol, Taylor Swift reacts with exaggerated surprise, and Justin Bieber concentrates on dance moves. M.I.A. adds gunshots, Russell Brand digresses into a story, and Kesha supplies an unruly holiday verse. Scotty McCreery sings in a deep baritone and Thom Yorke dances through his duet. A decorated tree stands in for Lady Gaga before Kanye West takes over with a self-aggrandizing number. The ad closes with Bieber still dancing as Bublé waits for him to sing.
